It’s a day to remember Miss Shirley

 

Are photo albums a thing of the past?
It’s wonderful to find these snaps of Shirley’s childhood ~ PRICELESS

 

Childhood memories can fade but after reading the news about Shirley Temple Black's death, I was immediately transported back in time.

 

The rain is hitting the window behind my head whilst sitting on a firm and furry brown Davenport but all is hazy. 

A smell of earthy sweet buckwheat pancakes lurked from around the corner where familiar kitchen noises hummed. 

My toes tucked cleverly inside my flame-retarded polyester nightgown with my Trāṭaka eyes completely absorbed.

I know its Sunday because one of my favorite movies is on the TV,  The Little Colonel

 

Thank you Miss Shirley for bringing the magic to my rainy Sundays.
